The state capitnl of Wisconsin
was destroyed by tire last Saturday,
with the loss placed at one million
dollars.
The Russo-Japanese war seems
to be one of desultory skirmishes on
both sides, and it is impossible to
give any definite information, as
both countries have press censorship
and give out no very good accounts
of progress.
Iowa is to have biennial elections
hereafter A bill to that effect has
passed both branches of the Iowa
legislature by c unfortable majori
ties and has the unqualified sanction
of the voters at large. A good idea
for Nebraska to follow.
Attorney G- neral I’routis another
man who thinks he wants to be Un
ited States senator in place of Sen
ator Dietrich. Just why Mr Prout
might imagine he was. wanted in
,< _ <
that responsible position is incom
prehensible. But the more the mer
rier.
State Senator O’Neill of Lancaster
is pushed by his friends for state
auditor. Senatoi O'Nejll has mgny
good qualifications for the place and
no doubt would fill the bill O K ,
if he should be the fortunate man.
By the way, this is an unsolicited
comment.
' Omaha complains of a Hood of
counterfoil #10 silver certificate# in

do not believe there is any serious
demand for the services of this un
genial political manipulator among
the rank and file of the voters.
Congressman Burkett was report:
ed quite ill, last Friday, by dispatch

Good-bye to fusion. At a joint
meeting of committees of middle-of
the-road and fusion populists at St.
Louis, last week, they settled their
differences, joined hands, bid fare
well to fusion with any otlur party,
and will go it alone in the future.
They issued a call for a joint conven
tion to meet at Springfield, 111., on
July 4th next, to nominate populist
candidates for president and vice
president. As our worthy contem
porary, the Times-Independent, has
been badly exorcised of late as
to what had become of the populist
organization, we are glad to be able
to relieve Ins mind and state the
above,which givshis political head
a pad to rest upon.

Congressional Convention.
The congressional committee of
the Big Sixth met at Grand Island,
on the lflth inst., and selected Alli
ance as the place and March 17th as
the date for holding the coming
Sixth congressional convention. This
does not give sufficient time in
which to call county conventions to
select delegations to the congres
sional convention, ami in our opin
ion is a mistake, in which conclusion
we are joined by many of our lead
ing Sherman county Republicans.
As one prominent Sherman county
Republican remarked upon hearing
time and date: “We should hesitate
to accept the nomination under such
cireumstancs.”
However, the following extract
from a letter addressed to Chairman
Smelser, of the Sherman county Re
publican central committee by John
Reese, secretary of the congression
al committee, may explain the mat
ter, and make the early convention
call satisfactory. Here is the ex
tract :
“This action was taken in accord
ance with the desire that the Sixth
district shall be early in the Held
with an emphatic endorsement of
President Koosevelt. While the
time allowed for calling a county
convention and electing delegates in
the usual manner is short, the mat
ter was fully discussed by the com
miitee a'd it was decided by the
majority that these details could be
arranged satisfactorily by the 'sev
eral counties. In this connection
we suggest that delegates may be
chosen by the county central com
mittee, if desired, thus obviating
the necessity of holding the county
convention at a date that may seem
too early—especially where it is the
intention to nominate local candi
dates. Delegates .chosen in this
manner will be admitted to the con
vention upon credentials signed by
• he chairman and secretary of the
county central committee.”
(We see }>y qqwspaper comment
that Editor ('lark Perkins of the St.
Paul Republican is a candidate for
delegate to the Republican National
convention. That’s all right. He’s
t 4 » a
a bright young newspaper man and
publishes a live Republican paper,
which is always an important factor
to party success, so let us give him
right-of-way to the convention. Car

Baptist Church Notes
We think that the first thing for us
to Uo at this time is to make an apology
: to ttio good people who came to our
d urch last Sunday. Those who read
ihe notes last week will remember that
we promised that they would not be
discommoded by the paint again but
owing to the bad weather and other un
avoidable circumstances, the painting
was not finished as soon in the week as
we > xpected and it was not as pleasant
sitting in the church as we had hoped.
When the painting is completed we
will have a tine looking church both in
side and out. We are glad to see our
house of worship made attractive and
pleasant and as we re-d«*dicaie our
church building to God, cleansed and
made beautiful, let us also re dedicate
ourselves to Him with a renewed de
termination to do more and lietter work.
